Chemena Kamali’s Chloé debut revived the trend that dominated the noughties
We feel like we’ve been transported back to 2004, the era of disc belts, suede fabrics, prairie dresses and ruffled blouses, endlessly searching for pics of ultimate boho-queenAs Gabriela Hearst said her goodbye as Creative Director at the SS23 PFW Chloé show, Chemena Kamali’s arrival was much anticipated for AW24, and we were not disappointed. The front row was lined with wooden and leather wedges, giving us a sneak peek of what to expect from the collection.
As the Chloé show unfolded, it was clear Chemena had single-handedly revived boho chic. Amongst the designs we saw ruffled blouses tucked into jeans, billowing chiffon dresses, wooden clogs all in neutral tones.As fashion month went on, we saw other designers also tapping into the boho trend. At Isabel Marant we saw an array of fringed pieces and suede fabrics andHowever, if we look back to the SS23 and SS24 runways, we’ve seen the boho trend slowly creeping its way back into style.
The boho trend, deriving from the word bohemian, skyrocketed in the mid 2000s – although the style actually harks back to much earlier. In the late 1960s and early 1970s when the hippie counterculture was at the fore, a pointed rejection of formal silhouettes resulted in flowy fabrics, loose-fitting shapes, earthy tones and, naturally, a healthy dose of fringing.
Some key pieces that have come to epitomise the height of boho chic include suede and chiffon fabrics, embroidered peasant blouses, earthy tones and wedges.We can't recommend pieces for you to buy without including the brand that initiated its revival. This Chloé blouse is the epitome of boho: its creamy tone, ruffled cold-shoulder sleeves and broderie anglaise finish.If you want to buy just one piece to introduce yourself to the boho trend, make it this ba&sh number.
